Husk Armchair
Made by Moroso
Marc Thorpe's Husk Armchair for Moroso takes its cues from the protective outer layers found in nature, translating that quietly sheltering geometry into a form built for outdoor life. The silhouette wraps and cradles, offering a sense of enclosure without heaviness.
Thorpe, a New York-based designer known for his interest in the dialogue between natural systems and industrial process, brings to Husk a sensibility that resists ornamentation. What remains is proportion and curve, refined to work with the body rather than against it.
